What are ripples ?

Ripple marks are sedimentary structures and indicate agitation by water (current or waves) or wind.

Ripples are commonly preserved in sedimentary rocks and asymmetric ripples indicate flow direction, with the steep slope on the down-current direction. Symmetric ripples form as a result of constant water (wave) energy oscillating back and forth.
